That’s what the subway stations in many of the poorer Burroughs and underfunded areas look like. On the tip of Manhattan or throughout most of Queen the stations can be beautiful. Full granite and marble, extremely clean, new trains, and so on. Why? Those stations are used mostly by the ultra wealthy.
Fulton Station
World Trade Center Station
not a single bench in sight, incredible 
No poors allowed.
Those stations are crawling with cops as well. I have seen homeless people basically be beat to hell and dragged off for daring to enter those stations.
There are benches though, thankfully. Just good luck using them if you don’t look like you’re a multimillionaire.
hey I know that second one
World Trade Center Station looks like a set from the Battlestar Galactica reboot.

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Incidentally, home ownership in China is around 90% today http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2012-05/15/content_15295765.htm
I agree that the system is absolute dogshit in NYC, but how do you go about fixing that? Xinjiang had the benefit of being brand new, so there were no existing travelers, and it’s not like you can just close down a station in NYC and say “Oopsie; get fucked everyone who used this line/station, come back in a few weeks/months”.
It’s a lose lose.

What are the red circle and arrow supposed to be drawing attention to?

South Africa and the old yellow Metrorail trains make New York look like paradise. The new blue Metrorail trains look nice though. We also have the Gautrain which is nice, but is basically a rich people only train service.
